Your Average Nigga: Performing Race, Literacy, and Masculinity by Vershawn Ashanti Young
This was a late addition to a course syllabus and because I was irritated at that lateness decided to simply get it from my University library. I figured I wouldn't like it that much, anyway, and told myself, "just read this 'cause ya gotta and move on." My freakin' bad. Not 10 pages into this thing and I am loving it ... like, "drop the attitude and get your butt to the bookstore NOW" loving it. So I don't care someone else in my class has recalled the library book (meaning I don't get to keep it as long as I normally could); I am happy to plunk down the $$ for my own copy.
